It's come to this now in the US. Scientists have to leave the lab to fight against the anti-science zealots that now reach to the highest levels of the US government. It would not be an outrageous idea


BOSTON — Hundreds of scientists, environmental advocates and their supporters held a rally in Boston on Sunday to protest what they see as increasing threats to science and research in the U.S.

The scientists, some dressed in white lab coats, called on President Donald Trump's administration to recognize evidence of climate change and take action on various environmental issues.

Geoffrey Supran, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who studies renewable energy solutions to climate change, said scientists are responding to the Trump administration's "anti-science rhetoric."

"We're really trying to send a message today to Mr. Trump that America runs on science, science is the backbone of our prosperity and progress," Supran said.

And this piece from Neil DeGrasse Tyson who not surprisingly the National Review is no fan of warns that the US may be headed for irrelevancy thanks to it's war against inconvenient facts that don't align with the wishes of global capitalism.

Americans overall are bad at science. Scared of math. Poor at physics and engineering. Resistant to evolution. This science illiteracy, Tyson told a nearly sold-out crowd at the Greensboro Coliseum on Tuesday night, is a threat to the nation.

“The consequence of that is that you breed a generation of people who do not know what science is nor how and why it works,” he said. “You have mortgaged the future financial security of your nation. Innovations in science and technology are the (basis) of tomorrow’s economy.”

pure blatant/blind ignorance how anyone can choose a like minded team seemingly to push though policies that go against persons who spend a lifetime of professional work research results acknowledged Worldwide no doubt is beyond comprehension

no different to an uneducated fellow in discusion with a universty professor i imagine

PRUIT and his likely EPA shenanigans a big worry
and here i was more/or as concerned with VP PENCES likely warmongeringh extreme behaviour, being quiet at the moment,maybe secretly quietly woking through it all

(con't) It would not be an outrageous idea if the Washington didn't end up like Baghdad; anti-science, anti-reason and anti-facts. A once powerful capital reduced to religious zealotry run by demagogues.

One of the greatest achievements in modern medicine and we're headed backwards. You may be dead but at least you died with your liberty intact.

This is so embarrassing. How can my home state be so idiotic.

Don't feel bad huge swaths of the country are undoing 100 years of progress.
